A.B. SIDIBE Staff WriterCRYSTAL RIVER Workers are clearing a parcel of land near the heart of downtown that will become a quaint neighborhood of old Florida Cracker homes, sidewalks and leafy landscapes. Developers hope the 1920-to-1930s-style bungalows will appeal to people who love to have their amenities within walking distance and a have a hankering for front porch living, Nature Coast style. The group behind the project Crystal River Station is hoping that with the national economy showing glimmers of growth, their gamble to remake a 1.5-acre slice of an increasingly vibrant downtown core will pay dividends. The new development will be near the Historic Old Railroad. The investors, Tony and Donna Athens, are in California, but they love Crystal River and think this type of neighborhood will be ideal here, said Terry LaGree, one of three people who are the projects faces in Citrus County. Crystal River City Council member Ron Kitchen and Chris Ensing of Southern Exposure Construction are the others. The plan is to build nine homes of varying sizes with granite countertops and garages, according to LaGree. The front of the homes, he said, will prominently feature porches families can use to watch their children play or just sit outside and take in the neighborhood. The homes themselves will be open concept plans. They may look small on the outside, but the insides will be open and the rooms will be large with cathedral ceilings, LaGree said. Floor choices are also available. Last month during a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) meeting, Ensing and LaGree presented renderings of their plans. LaGree called it front-porch living, Nature Coast style.

Eleventh crash victim found ORLANDO A pickup truck involved in a deadly Florida interstate pileup was so badly burned and crushed that it took investigators more than two days to find a third body inside, authorities said Wednesday. The discovery brings the death toll from the weekend crashes on Interstate 75 to 11. The condition of the wreckage has also prompted investigators to enlist anthropologists to help identify victims. The newly discovered victim was inside a Dodge pickup truck that crashed into a tractor trailer as it traveled south early Sunday in smoky and foggy conditions, authorities determined Tuesday. The pickups driver and another passenger were discovered before, but none of the three had been identified Wednesday. Anthropologists from the University of Florida were looking for any bone fragments and teeth that may help identify the bodies. Convention cops hotels will cost $2M TAMPA Tampa police said its going to cost around $2 million for hotel rooms to house outof-town law enforcement officers for the Republican National Convention this summer. The Tampa Bay Times reported that 3,000 outside officers will be in town for the event at the end of August. Federal money awarded to the city for convention security will pay the bills. Once they get there, the out-of-town officers will work a variety of assignments, including traffic control, security details, marine patrol, and dignitary protection and escort.

SIDIBE Staff WriterA woman infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) who was arrested less than a year ago for reportedly having unprotected sex with unsuspecting men has been arrested again on a similar charge, according to the Citrus County Sheriffs Office. Yvonne Nicole Andrews, 40, 9490 S. Clearsprings Drive, Floral City, was arrested Tuesday evening and charged with knowingly trying to transmit the incurable disease to two people who came forward. Her bond is $20,000. Andrews was out on bond from her arrest last March when she was accused of similarly having unprotected sex with multiple men. According to investigators, Andrews reportedly had unprotected sex with one witness last Christmas and the day after Christmas at her residence. A second witness alleged they had sex a week before Christmas and also on Christmas day, the same day as the other witness, but the encounters happened in Andrews vehicle. Investigators said after her previous arrest, Andrews allegedly admitted to knowing that she had been HIV-positive since 2008 and that the health department counseled her about the possible criminal consequences of sexual intercourse with people without informing them about her health status. Andrews reportedly declined to speak to investigators. Chronicle reporter A.B. Sidibe can be reached at 352-564-2925 or asidibe@ chronicleonline.com.

Chief rival Newt Gingrich is regrouping after a significant loss and faces serious disadvantages in the next states to vote. Romney, who won big in Florida with a barrage of negative ads, predicted the tone of the GOP campaign was just a precursor to what youll see from President Barack Obama in the general election. And he said voters paid more attention to what they heard in the campaign debates than whatever ads were flooding the airwaves. Perhaps what were getting now inoculates us, or at least prepares us, for what will come down the road, Romney said as he made the rounds of morning television shows. House Speaker John Boehner dismissed any notion that the bitter tone of the GOP race and the prospect of a drawn-out battle for the nomination is worrisome for Republicans. I understand that people are concerned about how long the primary process is dragging out, Boehner said. I would remind people that President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had a fight that went through June of 2008. I think everybody just needs to realize that this will resolve itself. Looking ahead, Romney said his campaign is focused squarely on middleincome Americans to the exclusion of others at either See GOP / Page A2 MATTHEW BECK /Chronicle Barbaron Inc. architect Terry LaGree, left, and general contractor Chris Ensing, with Southern Exposure Inc., display blueprints for a new housing community in Crystal River.

a lot of attention from the county business leaders, it was the fact that Governor Scott, Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll, Department of Transportation Secretary Ananth Prasad and several state representatives came to where they were the Old Senate Chamber in the Historic Capitol building. In past trips weve gone to their offices, said John Seifert, EDC executive director. This time there were too many of us. Although the acoustics were less than ideal, the messages the group heard were clear Tallahassee knows about Citrus County and wants to see it grow and prosper. I was impressed by how well versed they are about Citrus County and our issues here, such as the Suncoast Parkway (extension), Seifert said. They were clued-in and in tune, without our prompting. Here are some highlights from the day-long trip: On the topic of Port Citrus, Department of Transportation Secretary Ananth Prasad said, Education is an important issue; health care is important, but transportation touches everyone. Prasad strongly recommended that Citrus County think regionally since transportation problems dont end at the county line. He also suggested, because of the state of the economy, that Citrus County reconsider the specifics of the Suncoast Parkway in order to get it started and finished sooner. Its 26 miles and four lanes, he said. But maybe we dont need four lanes. Maybe we dont need 26 miles. Lets put our heads together and figure out a solution. Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll spoke about the tough job of doing the job she and Governor Scott were elected to do change the status quo of deficit spending and create a climate that brings jobs to Florida. That does not mean government jobs, she said. She said in balancing the budget theyve had to make drastic, painful and unpopular, yet necessary, cuts to programs, with the biggest cuts to education and healthcare. Everyone complains, but we have to balance the budget, she said. If we keep doing the same things, well get the same bad results and we all know what the definition of insanity is. Carroll added that the focus of education needs to be in the areas of technology, finance, math and engineering, preparing students for st-century jobs. Companies wont come here if we dont have a viable workforce, she said, adding that Floridas kids arent competing with kids from other states, but international students who are running circles around our kids. Sen. Charles Dean (RInverness) took a brief time out from a busy day on the Senate floor to greet the group from Citrus County during lunch. Among the issues on Deans list were Medicare and Medicaid and privatization of prisons. He also touched on issues surrounding Kings Bay. Im hoping to talk to the governor to get $1 million in seed money to be able to work just on water quality, Dean said. Later in the afternoon, Dean introduced part of the group from Citrus County from the Senate floor. Citrus County lobbyist Pete Dunbar said counties employing lobbyists is routine and a necessity in todays world in Tallahassee. With 160 members of the legislature and more than 2,000 registered lobbyists Dade County has a 24-member team you need big guns, Dunbar said. Citrus County is now in the game. Welcome to the big leagues. State Rep. Jimmie T. Smith (R-Inverness) said because Citrus County is considered part of the greater Tampa Bay super region, Tallahassee is getting the message: Citrus County is vital to the growth of Florida. He added that the only direction Tampa can grow is north. Smith said, Our budgets are balanced, we provide the services we need within our means, our community comes together and provides for our own without looking to the government for a handout all the time Citrus County is the example as a place to live, work and play, and were ready for that future growth.

Ensing told the panel despite the current economic times, the project is workable and they planned to keep the home prices affordable. The project has already been permitted and is set for construction to begin. The group went before the CRA, which comprises the Crystal River City Council, to share developments with the panel and not to ask for any favors, Kitchen interjected during the presentation. Other members of the panel were all happy to see new additions to the percolating downtown core.

Unlike proposed laws, however, a memorial does not require final approval by the governor. Dean and Smith offered the memorials at the behest of Crystal River residents who oppose the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services proposed Kings Bay rule. The rule, which has not been finalized, would expand the manatee refuge into all of Kings Bay, restricting boat speeds and issues other mandates the federal government says is necessary to protect manatees. Opponents to the rule fear a loss of private property rights and the impact the rules could have on fishing. The memorials ask Congress to direct the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to reconsider the proposed rule and instead work with state and local governments in seeking joint long-term solutions to protect manatees. Smith said he realizes the resolution lacks enforcement but its the best the Legislature can do. I cant make somebody listen to me, he said. Its our due diligence to have that voice and speak to Congress. Even though they may not listen, its still my duty to speak up. While its uncertain what Congress would do with the request, U.S. Rep. Rich Nugent supports it. Nugent, R-Brooksville, has tried to remove funding from the agencys budget to enforce the rule. He said Wednesday he would welcome a state request to intervene. All people are asking for is to slow down, pay attention to the stakeholders, be open and transparent, Nugent said. Weve been on it, and this adds more pressure for them to do the right thing. Chronicle reporter Mike Wright can be reached at 352-563-3228 or mwright@ chronicleonline.com. BAYContinued from Page A1 All people are asking for is to slow down ... U.S. Rep.

Im not concerned about the very poor, he said on CNN. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, Ill fix it. Im not concerned about the very rich. Theyre doing just fine. Im concerned about the very heart of America, the 90-95 percent of Americans who are struggling. Questioned about his comment on the poor, Romney reiterated that they have a very ample safety net but that we can talk about whether it needs to be strengthened. Obamas campaign, looking to make some money off the GOP squabbling, issued a fundraising appeal Wednesday focused on the millions that Romney and his supporters had poured into negative ads. Thats ugly, and it tells us a lot about what to expect from Romney if he wins the Republican nomination, said campaign manager Jim Messina. Theyre going to try to spend and smear their way to the White House. Romney said his path ahead is looking very good as he heads to Minnesota and Nevada for campaign stops Wednesday. Gingrich, meanwhile, worked to convince supporters that the primary is a two-person race. Vowing to stay the course, Gingrich said Tuesday, We are going to contest everyplace. He planned one appearance in Reno, Nev., on Wednesday. Nevada and Maine have caucuses on Saturday. Minnesota and Colorado have contests on Tuesday. Michigan and Arizona have primaries on Feb. 28. Romney begins February with formidable advantages in fundraising and organization. His campaign raised $24 million in the final months of 2011, dwarfing his competitors and leaving him with $20 million to fight a primary battle thats increasingly spread across many states. The former Massachusetts governor has had staff and volunteerson the ground in upcoming states for months as hes prepared for a drawnout fight for delegates to the Republican National Convention in August.Gingrich, meanwhile, doesnt have a strong ground game as he looks to contests in states that could prove problematic for him. And in a nomination fight so far defined by debates typicallya strong point for the former House speaker he faces a threeweek stretch without one. The candidates will next debate in Arizona on Feb. 22. Romney won Nevadas caucuses in 2008, and a substantial Mormon population there could propel him to victory. Still, Texas Rep. Ron Paul has been organizing in the state for months and could pose a strong challenge. GOP Continued from Page A1

CMH chairman urges budget teamwork M IKE W RIGHT Staff WriterINVERNESS The chairman of the Citrus Memorial Health Foundation board is reaching out to his counterpart in developing next years budget. James Sanders suggested in a letter to Michael Smallridge, chairman of the Citrus County Hospital Board of Trustees, that the two boards work together in developing a budget in light of projected Medicare and Medicaid cuts. Sanders recommended a task force that includes one member from both boards, plus financial staffs of each organization, to meet as many times as necessary from late March until late August to prepare the 201213 budget. He is also offering to allow CCHB finance director Harry Kilgore to participate in the internal budget work sessions. Sanders letter, dated Jan. 12, states that he doesnt expect an immediate resolution of the governance issues that divide the foundation board of directors and hospital board of trustees. By working together on the budget, Sanders wrote, the two boards can have an understanding of the hospitals needs for public funding. The foundation oversees operation of the hospital under a lease with the board of trustees, which approves an annual property tax levy to help fund the hospital. Both boards disagree on the method of funding the hospital with the property tax revenue and a dispute about the amount owed is pending in court. Along with the suggestion of a joint budget task force, Sanders also asked Smallridge to lift the requirement for a final budget from the foundation by July 1. Sanders said the foundation board should be required to submit a preliminary budget for July 1 since the new budget year doesnt begin until Oct. 1. There are too many variables which cannot be accurately predicted that far in advance, Sanders wrote. Smallridge said Wednesday he is preparing a formal response to Sanders letter and that the matter will be discussed at the trustees Feb. 13 meeting. Smallridge, however, said he agrees with Sanders request for combining efforts on the budget process. I have no problem whatsoever doing that, Smallridge said. I think the Citrus County Hospital Board is there to help. Smallridge said he is recommending a sit-down meeting with him and Sanders to discuss the budget and other issues.

Letter suggests hospital boards work together to plan for Medicare, Medicaid cuts DAVE SIGLER /Chronicle Nancy Kennedy, a Chronicle reporter and author of a number of inspirational books, will participate in the 2012 Festival of Books, Books and Beyond, on Saturday at St. Margarets Episcopal Church in Inverness. S ANDRA S. K OONCE Special to the ChronicleNancy Kennedy is a familiar face to Chronicle readers. After all, she interviews people on a regular basis and her byline and picture appear regularly. She shared a few things recently, however, that most readers do not know like the fact that at age 19 she joined the U.S. Air Force to find a husband. She succeeded. She and husband, Barry, have raised two daughters and are grandparents. Hes retired. But she never will be at least from writing. Some people are artists; some are musicians, she said. I was born a writer. She recalled how in elementary school she and some of her friends completed some of the finest writing I ever thought I could do. Full of bams and pows, their writing was all about television scripts for Batman. As a young mother, she submitted articles to various magazines. Her first published work was a 250word filler for a magazine. I got $25 for it! she said with a laugh. She has had articles printed in Readers Digest, Guideposts and several other magazines, written with an Erma Bombeck-style of humor and wisdom. It was that touch of humor and writing about a formerly cool mom that really got the ball rolling in my writing career, she said. But, Nancy, like other writers, had her share of rejection letters before she got that first paycheck for her writing. Unlike many, however, a publisher sought her out and offered her a contract to write her first book. A division of Random House saw some of her stories and contacted her. They had been looking for a humor writer for their house and wanted to offer her a three-book contract. They even gave her the general idea for the book. But they had to call back several times before she realized it was a real offer. That first book, Help, Ive been intimidated by the Proverbs 31 Woman, has since been republished under a different title, When Perfect Isnt Enough. In all, she has had 11 books published (plus she has contributed to other books and even a study Bible). Some of her books have been reprinted in at least four other languages. She consistently wins awards in state and national newspaper contests. Nancy, who has recently stepped down as the Chronicle religion editor and now does hard news and more community features, has been a Christian since age 23. Her weekly column in the Chronicle with an emphasis on how her faith affects her life and those around her, continues. It is carried in about a dozen other newspapers. Nancy will share with fans and readers some of her successes and failures and give advice about writing for the religious market at Saturdays 2012 Festival of Books at St. Margarets Episcopal Church in Inverness. She will be one of eight authors giving advice on various aspects of writing and publishing. Local author, reporter to discuss her craft at book event Born to write SO YOU KNOW The 2012 Festival of Books, Books and Beyond will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, at St. Margarets Episcopal Church, 114 N. Osceola Ave., Inverness. More than 40 Citrus County authors will be selling their books. Admission to the author area is free. Seminar tickets are $10 for a package. Individual seminars, including Nancy Kennedys, will be $5. For more information and a seminar schedule, visit www. chronicleonline.com. Special to the ChronicleLECANTO Does the idea of teaming up with others to meet immediate lifesaving needs in the wake of a major disaster appeal to you? If you answered yes, then as concerned citizens, you may want to consider enrolling in Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training offered by the Sheriffs Office Emergency Management Section. The program is presented free of charge, in cooperation with the Sheriffs Office Fire Rescue Division, Citrus County Health Department, Nature Coast Emergency Medical Services and Progress Energy. Looking back on past disasters and catastrophic events, emergency management agencies across the nation were quick to recognize that immediately following a major incident, they simply might not have the resources or capabilities to meet the initial crush of demands for service. Enter the Community Emergency Response Team concept. This grassroots partnering effort teams up professional service providers with the very people they serve. More importantly, CERT empowers family members, neighbors, coworkers everyone in the entire community with the means to care for themselves until more help arrives. Here in Citrus County, the first CERT training session of 2012 is set to begin in the Sheriffs Office Emergency Operations Center at 3549 Saunders Way (off County Road 491) in Lecanto. There is no charge to attend. Eight weekly classes are scheduled for Wednesday nights: Feb. 29, March 7, 14, 21 and 28, plus April 4, 11 and 18. Each session runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and targets such topics as disaster preparedness, team organization, fire safety, triage and treatment of lifethreatening injuries, light search and rescue, and more. Only the March 7 class will be at a different location than the EOC. The fire safety portion of the CERT training session is scheduled for the Citrus County Fire Training Center at 1300 S. Lecanto Highway, Building 26, also nearby in Lecanto. Because class size is limited, pre-registration is an absolute must. CERT trainees must attend all eight evenings of instruction in order to receive their certificate of training. Visit the sheriffs office website at www.sheriffcitrus.org, and print out the CERT volunteer application from the Emergency Management tab. Then either mail it in or drop it off at the EOC as soon as possible. For more information, please contact Bob Wesch, deputy director of emergency management, by emailing him at bwesch@sheriffcitrus.org, or calling him at 352249-2708. Training for readiness Associated PressMIAMI A combination of tough new laws and a high-profile crackdown is chipping away at Floridas dubious distinction as the nations leading illicit source of powerful prescription painkillers for drug addicts and dealers, federal and state officials said Wednesday. New U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration figures show that the number of oxycodone pills purchased by Florida doctors dropped 97 percent from 2010 to 2011, mainly due to a state law that took effect July 1 banning clinics and doctors from dispensing them. Yet the DEA numbers also show a 14 percent drop in Florida pharmacy purchases of oxycodone over the same time period, even counting a small increase in the first three months of 2011. The decline at pharmacies coincided with the takedown in February of a network of Broward County-based pill mills that used some 1,600 Internet sites to attract thousands of addicts and drug dealers. About 85 people, including at least 13 doctors, have been arrested in South Florida over the past year on pill mill-related charges, according to federal prosecutors. U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer said Wednesday at a prescription pill abuse summit in Lexington, Ky., that fewer people are coming from out of state to Florida to buy painkillers. Im hoping to dry up this pipeline that we have between South Florida and Kentucky and Tennessee and Ohio, Ferrer said. Were not going to let up. Floridas efforts were further bolstered when the state last year finally launched a prescription drug monitoring program aimed at curbing doctorshopping and tracking physicians who prescribe unusually large amounts of oxycodone and other painkillers. Crackdown means sharp drop in oxycodone purchases

Associated PressTAMPA An attorney for the Spanish government said a federal judges ruling Tuesday means Florida deep-sea explorers will have to start making plans to hand over 17 tons of silver coins and other treasure from a sunken 19th century galleon. Tampa-based Odyssey Marine Exploration Inc. found the treasure off the Portuguese coast in 2007 in the wreck of what is believed to be the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, which was sunk by British warships in 1804. Last year, a federal appeals court in Atlanta affirmed a Tampa judges ruling that Odyssey must give the treasure back to Spain. The company then requested a stay of court proceedings as it continued its legal fight to keep the treasure. In court documents, the exploration firm said a stay of the court proceedings is needed to prevent Spain from keeping the treasure as U.S. courts continue to consider the case. But in an order Tuesday, a federal judge in Atlanta denied Odysseys motion for a stay. James Goold, a Washington lawyer representing the Spanish government, said once the mandate is returned to the federal court in Tampa, the original order from the court will be reinstated. Goold said that means Odyssey will have to return the treasure to Spain within 10 days, although he expects another hearing in Tampa soon so he and Odyssey attorneys can again discuss the situation with a judge. Odyssey said it will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to consider the case, but Goold said the request doesnt stop the clock on the company being forced to hand over the treasure to Spain. Tuesdays decision, he said, removes the latest effort by Odyssey to delay the inevitable. Odyssey, I believe, will have to explain how they are going to comply with the orders, how they are going to do it properly and in a timely fashion, Goold said. Melinda MacConnel, Odyssey vice president and general counsel, declined to comment in an emailed statement because the court hadnt yet issued its mandate. In Madrid, Spanish Culture Minister Jose Ignacio Wert said Tuesdays decision was a major victory in his countrys bid to bring the treasure home. This verdict will give Spaniards back a treasure of incalculable historical value, he said in an interview on Spanish National Radio. Wert said Spanish authorities are already making plans for how to carefully transport the treasure from Florida to Spain and inspect the coins after arrival. They plan to put all the coins and objects in the hands of specialists for proper restoration and to prevent future damage, Wert said in the statement. After the restoration, well proceed to distribute the objects between collections of natural museums where they will be the subjects of study, research and exhibition, he said.

O PINION Page A10 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2012 Accept responsibility There is an old gospel song that goes, Its me O Lord, its me O Lord, standing in the need of Prayer, its me O Lord. A person who wants to live life positively is in a dangerous position when they feel that when a problematic situation in life develops, the difficulty always lies with someone else. There is no one that is perfect, no, not one! But it is also true that one begins to move more toward perfection when they begin to understand and accept that in interpersonal activity, no matter what a situation is with any two people, both personalities are in some measure responsible in both the creation and the resolution. Stonewalling is not an option to resolve difficulties of any kind. Keeping an open door to thoughtful understanding and personal questioning definitely is, and, consequently, allows for expanding the totality of questionable dialogue, leading toward making things better. Thinking, feeling, verbalizing and/or singing Its them, its them, O Lord, standing in need of Divine help, will not cut the mustard, nor resolve very many problems; accepting some interpersonal responsibility just might. William Young Crystal River Its not workingI have said many times that socialism doesnt work. Its a tried and failed system. We have ample proof that its not working by the fact that we will very shortly need an additional $1 trillion increase in the debt ceiling. Didnt we just do that last month, or was it the month before last? No government in recorded history has ever burned through $1 trillion in such a short time. Just wait until Obamacare really kicks in. Obama and his socialist crowd insist that they can fix it all if they could just tax the rich their fair share. Fair share is the new buzzword for wealth redistribution, so lets put it to the test. Lets not do it with taxes, but by seizure. Lets take the entire wealth of the 408 billionaires in this country and apply it to the general fund and the budget. That got us $1.3 trillion, plus or minus a little and a balanced budget for this year. However, it does nothing for next year and the year after, and we have destroyed the real wealth producers of the country. I can hear the cries now that we didnt go far enough. Lets turn our attention to all the millionaires and seize all their wealth. Combined with the $1.3 trillion from the billionaires that gets us up to $15.1 trillion and we can pay off the national debt and be reborn as a debt-free nation. However, without major cuts in spending we will be right back to $15.1 trillion in debt in five years. Our budget is for about $3.7 trillion in expenses each year, of which we get $2.4 trillion in taxes and $1.3 trillion from the sale of bonds. The billionaires and millionaires contributed 70 percent of that $2.4 trillion and they are penniless now. Now we are $3 trillion short of being able to live a $3.7 trillion lifestyle. Thats the true promise of socialism. You cant make everybody rich, but you can make everybody poor. Its your choice in 2012. Harley Lawrence Homosassa I f Mitt Romney wants to win the Republican nomination for president this year, which he clearly does, he has one big hurdle to overcome: it has something to do with his anger. During the final debate before the Florida primary, former Pennsylvania senator and winner of the Iowa caucus Rick Santorum took the opportunity to show some contrast between himself, frontrunner Romney and former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. He homed in, as he had in the previous Florida debate, on the health-care plan that Romney shepherded into law while governor of Massachusetts. Romney stunned my typical tweeting-at-the-TV self into silence as he responded to Santorum: Its not worth getting angry about. For conservative voters who dont trust Romney, period, and trust him even less on health care who are worried that he did, in fact, set the stage for Obamacare it was not the best answer. It wasnt the best answer, because Santorums point was that a government approach to health-care reform isnt the best one, and that the discussion of health-care reform has to start from a position of freedom, not federal mandates. It wasnt the best answer because one of the most energetic and vital grassroots movements to strike a chord with voters in recent years the tea party sprung from activists angry at the terrible state of the status quo. It wasnt the best answer, either, because in the coming weeks and months, I predict that we will see a whole new engagement from religious Americans concerned about the things they will be forced to accept from government-controlled health care. The Obama administration has made clear that taxpayer money will fund contraceptives, sterilization and some drugs that could cause abortions. Furthermore, religious organizations that oppose such things will be forced under the law to provide them in employee health-care plans, regardless. The rhetoric this campaign season has suggested that radical, religious Republicans want to take away your personal choice to use birth control. To the contrary: This radical administration wants to insist that things like abortion are part and parcel of basic health care, and that everyone will be forced to pay for it. Thats clearly worth a little rage. True, Romney is wise not to join the Occupy screamers, campaign-rally hecklers and talkinghead interrupters. And yet, there is clearly something that resonates with voters about Gingrich. Is it because he is the most entertaining? Maybe for some. Because he never hesitates to challenge anyone who questions him? Maybe for others. Is it because he is the ultimate Beltway outsider? Not so much. But could it be that he seems to embody a sense of immediacy and impatience that voters across the board seem to be feeling? When Romney quotes lyrics from patriotic songs, recalling his youthful cross-country trips with his parents in their Rambler, this is actually what hes trying to relay: a conservatism, a desire to preserve the country of his youth, the country he was raised to love a country that wont last, unless people are willing to fight for it, in principle and policy. But an understandably skeptical voting public needs more. And Romney hurts himself and shortchanges his experience and his message when he dismisses anger. People are disappointed, hurting, and, yes, angry. They rightly feel this way about a government that not only gets involved in private matters where it has no business butting in, but that blatantly violates what I and many people believe, forcing mass violations of conscience. And people are worried: Once the government gets its way on health care, whats next? Romney doesnt have to, and shouldnt, raise his voice or bully anybody. But he does have to demonstrate that he not only understands the concerns that Rick Santorum voiced, but that he can unite Americans and raise up that which is best about this land we love: her freedom.

HR directorSandra Frederick ............................ managing editor Curt Ebitz ........................................ citizen member Mac Harris ...................................... citizen member Rebecca Martin ................................ guest member EQUITY CHECK Crystal River raises police cost issue C rystal River residents pay for law enforcement through both their county and their city taxes, and City Manager Andy Houston has raised a question whether this is fair to city residents. He is clear that his concern is not about the level of service provided by the sheriffs office under its contract with the city, which Houston says saves the city $500,000 annually compared to the cost of maintaining its own police department. Rather, Houstons concern is that in addition to the taxes residents pay the city for enhanced law enforcement, they also pay county taxes for basic road patrol services that all other residents of the county receive. Four years ago, the city of Crystal River disbanded its police department and entered into a contract with the county sheriff to provide enhanced policing within the city for just over $1 million annually. The reason for the additional payment was to secure additional officers assigned to the city for faster response and greater police presence than would be expected in the county at large. Houston says he is satisfied with the service from the sheriffs office, but he thinks the county should reduce the amount of taxes city residents pay for basic road patrol services, since first-response calls within the city are handled by deputies paid by the city, not by road patrol deputies paid for through county taxes. He said in other areas, such as Pinellas County, residents of cities that provide their own police services receive a lower county tax levy. While the issue can easily get into a complex calculation of who should pay for what service, we think Houston has raised a legitimate issue for discussion. This discussion should be between the county, which is the taxing authority; the city, whose residents receive services; and the sheriff, whose services are being paid for through both city and county taxes. Such a discussion could determine if there is an inequity, and, if so, what needs to be done to resolve it. Regardless of the outcome, such a discussion would reassure citizens that the level of taxes paid for law enforcement are fair to both city and county residents. THE ISSUE: Crystal River city manager questions county law enforcement charge.OUR OPINION: A question that needs further discussion.

It is absolutely necessary to cut back, especially on any cost plus programs or items. During the war, that might have been necessary. Once the war was over in 1945, cost plus should have stopped, yet it was going on in 1957. Been there, done that, per orders from above, as well as costs on items that are not for military use, like bathroom handles and things and all that other stuff. Its a waste of our tax money.Thanks, folks I was at Cowboy Junction yesterday (Jan. 17) and I was walking through and I was going across the asphalt onto the sidewalk with the curbing on it and I tripped on the curbing and I fell on the other curbing with my forehead and I was kind of in a daze for a while and a lady, a vendor, came over and she said, Youre bleeding.

Associated PressINDIANAPOLIS Birth control pills are known to be nearly 100 percent effective when taken properly, but a recall of the drugs could send a shudder through women of childbearing age. A manufacturing mix-up by Pfizer Inc., the worlds largest drug maker, led to some packets being distributed with the pills out of order. That means a patient could have unknowingly skipped a dose and raised her risk of an accidental pregnancy. Pfizer has recalled about 1 million packets of Lo/Ovral28 and its generic equivalent, but the company estimates that only about 30 packets were flawed. The pills were made and shipped last year. Each packet contains 28 days worth of the prescription, with 21 pills containing the active ingredient that prevents pregnancy and seven placebo pills. The pills are normally colorcoded to note the difference. Women are supposed to take the pills in order and not mix the placebos with the active pills. Doctors say taking three placebos or more in a row negates the pregnancy protection. Women who are potentially on this particular product need to be aware of (the recall) and take this quite seriously, said Dr. Steven R. Goldstein, a New York University professor of obstetrics and gynecology. The drug is not among the more commonly prescribed brands of birth control. Doctors and pharmacists say Lo/Ovral is an older version of the pill that is not as widely prescribed anymore. They do not expect many panicked calls about the mix-up. Patients are pretty savvy, said Dr. Adam R. Jacobs, division director of family planning at Mount Sinai Medical Center. He expects most women would notice that the colors are out of order. Pfizer said the recall includes 14 lots of Lo/Ovral-28 tablets and 14 lots of the generic version, which is called norgestrel and ethinyl estradiol. Both products are manufactured by Pfizer and sold in the U.S. by Akrimax Rx Products. A lot is a product batch or production run, made at one time and place and can include tens of thousands of individual packages, each with the same identification code for tracking. Pfizer said the packets are pink with the drugs brand name or generic name on it, along with the Akrimax name. Pfizers logo does not appear on it Associated PressTALLAHASSEE Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos on Wednesday removed a veteran GOP legislator from a budget panel after he fought a plan to privatize prisons, saying he had lost confidence in the lawmakers willingness to cut government costs. Haridopolos said he was stripping Sen. Mike Fasano of his chairmanship of the Senate budget subcommittee that oversees spending on prisons and the courts. He was also removed from the main budget committee. I had lost confidence in him to build (on) the mission of cutting the cost of government, Haridopolos told reporters. It was a very difficult decision, but I just felt he was not rowing in the same direction. He was not ready to make the tough choices. He couldnt handle the responsibility. Fasano, of New Port Richey, said hed wear the loss as a badge of honor for speaking up for the little guy. Nearly 4,000 prison employees jobs in 26 facilities could be affected. Lawmakers in support of privatization say it could save at least $16.5 million a year. Theyre looking to plug a more than one billion dollar hole in this years state budget. Haridopolos declined to bring up the privatization bill (SB 2038) for debate on the Senate floor on Wednesday after cutting off discussion the day before. He said he wanted to give senators the weekend to continue to think about their position. Fasano translated the move: They dont have the votes. That was a given when Haridopolos refused to call up the bill for debate, he said. Ive been in the process for 17 years, Fasano said. If the leadership, with all great respect, had the votes to pass privatization, or at the minimum, stop my amendments, they would have brought the bill up. Fasano pushed a raft of amendments earlier this week. One would have ensured state corrections officers have first shot at jobs in privatized prisons at the same salary and benefits. Another would have killed privatization outright in favor of more legislative study. Fasano noted that a House companion measure on prison privatization was pulled off a committee agenda Wednesday. Theres a lot of concern about the legislation, he said. Privatizing nearly half the state (prisons) is an unprecedented move, not just in Florida, but nationally. The Legislature passed a South Florida prison-privatization plan last year, but the union that represented corrections officers at the time sued over it. A judge decided that prison privatization was unconstitutional because it was part of the annual budget and not passed as a separate law. Attorney General Pam Bondi is appealing the judges decision. This years legislation was intended to work around the judges ruling. Haridopolos named Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff as the new chair of the Senate budget subcommittee on criminal and civil justice appropriation. Replacing Bogdanoff, a Fort Lauderdale Republican, as chair of the Senate committee on finance and tax is Sen. Jim Norman, a Tampa Republican. He will also be on the main budget committee. Haridopolos said he feels for those who jobs might be affected by privatization and for the lawmakers who represent them. Any time you look into the eyes of someone whos lost a job, how do you not feel sympathetic? he asked.

Lewd acts Associated Press A student enters into Miramontes Elementary School on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Veteran Miramontes Elementary school teacher Mark Berndt, 61, was arrested Monday on charges of lewd conduct with 23 children after a film processor gave police photos showing blindfolded children with their mouths taped and cockroaches on their faces. Film developing leads to arrestLOS ANGELES It wasnt a veteran crime detective or a neighborhood watch group or even a suspicious parent who helped put a 61year-old elementary school teacher with no previous criminal record in jail for allegedly committing lewd acts on nearly two dozen children. It was one of the anonymous photo processing guys at the neighborhood CVS store where Mark Berndt dropped off his old-fashioned 35-mm film to be developed. Police were called as soon as the film processor saw photos last year of children blindfolded and their mouths covered in clear tape. The yearlong investigation resulted in Berndts arrest earlier this week. His bail was set at $23 million. Berndt is charged with committing lewd acts on 23 boys and girls, ages 6 to 10, between 2008 and 2010 at Miramonte Elementary School, where he had taught for more than 30 years. Flour power Associated Press A woman throws flour Wednesday on Francois Hollande, French Socialist Party candidate for the 2012 presidential elections, in Paris.

Egypt soccer fans rush field, 74 deadCAIRO At least 74 people were killed and hundreds injured after soccer fans rushed the field in the seaside city of Port Said Wednesday following an upset victory by the home team over Egypts top club, setting off clashes and a stampede as riot police largely failed to intervene. It was a bloody reminder of the deteriorating security in the Arab worlds most populous country as instability continues nearly a year after former President Hosni Mubarak was swept out of power in a popular uprising. The melee which followed an Egyptian league match between Al-Masry, the home team in the Mediterranean city, and Al-Ahly, based in Cairo and one of Egypts most popular teams was the worst case of soccer violence in Egypt and the deadliest worldwide since 1996. One player said it was like a war. From wire reports Nation BRIEF World BRIEFS N ATION & W ORLD Page A12 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2012 C ITRUS C OUNTY C HRONICLE Syria opens new front against rebels Associated PressBEIRUT Heavy gunfire and shelling rattled towns in a mountain valley outside Damascus on Wednesday, as Syrian troops opened a new front in their campaign to crush rebels who have taken control of areas around the capital. The assault in the mountains overlooking Damascus from the northwest came a day after regime troops largely succeeded in retaking suburbs on the eastern side of the city in an offensive over the past week. With activists reporting more than 30 killed in violence Wednesday, U.N. ambassadors held a second day of talks in a closed session at the Security Council, trying to win the agreement of Syrias ally Russia to a draft resolution calling for President Bashar Assad to surrender power. Moscow says it would veto the draft because it believes it opens the way for eventual international military action. Western and Arab diplomats at a high-level Council session Monday that grouped U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and the British and French foreign ministers insisted no such intervention was in the works. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hoped the Council will respond with a unified voice, his spokesman Martin Nesirky said. Hes concerned that as time passes, more people are being killed, Nesirky said. The United Nations estimated several weeks ago that more than 5,400 people had been killed since March in the Assad regimes crackdown on the uprising. It has been unable to update its count since, and the bloodshed has continued. More than 300 were killed the past week alone. The escalation in fighting appears to reflect the regimes growing concern over the threat posed by army defectors who have sided with protesters demanding Assads ouster. Defectors have appeared in towns and cities around the country, protecting protests, defending neighborhoods from regime assault and launching attacks on military forces and infrastructure. In recent weeks, the rebels appeared in greater numbers in the towns and suburbs surrounding Damascus, which has been tightly controlled by the regime throughout the countrys turmoil. On Wednesday, regime forces pushed their way up Wadi Barada, a valley in the mountains a few miles northwest of Damascus near the Lebanese border. Battles with rebels appeared heavy. The state news agency reported a brigadier general and two other high-ranking officers in the government forces were killed, and activists said between six and 14 army defectors died. The valley leads to the mountain resort town of Zabadani, an opposition stronghold that has been under the control of rebel soldiers and protesters for several weeks. At least 24 civilians were killed as government forces battered Deir Qanoun, Ein al-Fija and other towns in the valley, according to the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Another activist group, the Local Coordination Committees, put the toll at 36. Taliban deny reports of peace talks Associated PressKABUL, Afghanistan The Taliban dismissed reports they are preparing to talk peace with the Afghan government, and a NATO report leaked Wednesday shows captured insurgents full of confidence they will seize power after international troops leave. While both were setbacks to President Hamid Karzais quest to broker peace with the Taliban, his government got a big boost from Pakistans top diplomat who declared her nations support for an Afghan-led reconciliation process. Still, steps toward finding a political resolution to the 10-year-old war continue to be bogged down in discussions among the U.S. and its partners over venues, agendas and conflicting interests. Pakistans Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said she was visiting Kabul to deliver the strong message that Pakistan would stand behind any peace initiative that was widely supported by all ethnic groups in Afghanistan. Our only prerequisite to be supportive of an initiative is that it should be Afghan-led, she said. It should be Afghan-owned. It should be Afghan-driven and Afghan-backed. She said the Afghans should determine the way forward and then nations in the region and the greater international community should back the plan. This is the way the direction should be seen, rather than the other way around where others determine the direction, and the Afghans, we feel, are sometimes left to follow, she said. While she didnt mention the United States, Afghan officials have complained privately that the peace effort has so far been dominated by American efforts and U.S. talks with Taliban representatives. Rumors have swirled for days that Karzais government was seeking direct talks with the Taliban in Saudi Arabia a move seen as Karzais attempt to take charge of the peace effort. A statement Wednesday from Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid rejected those reports as baseless. The Taliban calls the Afghan government a puppet regime. The insurgency, however, has agreed to set up a political office in the Gulf state of Qatar and has acknowledged having preliminary discussions with the U.S. U.S. intelligence officials acknowledged Tuesday that to build trust with the Taliban, the United States may release several Afghan Taliban prisoners from the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. No decision has been made. Bad behavior Associated Press ABOVE: Punxsutawney Phil, the weather predicting groundhog, is seen on his stump during the annual Groundhog Day festivities Feb. 2, 2011, in Punxsutawney, Pa. The Groundhog Club claimed that Phil did not see his shadow last year and predicted that winter had ended. BELOW: Lexington, N.C. Mayor Pro-Tem Larry Beck, center, announces the weather prediction of the pig, Lil Bit, on Feb. 2, 2006, in Lexington, N.C. The pig did not see its shadow, predicting an early spring in Lexington. Her forecast was at odds with that of Pennsylvanias legendary groundhog Punxsutawney Phil, who forecast another six weeks of wintry weather. Associated PressNEW YORK Theyve bitten their handlers, refused to budge from their beds and lost their shadow-casting jobs to potbellied pigs. And it turns out, not all groundhogs are really that good at predicting the weather. Not even Bill Murray as a movie weatherman escaped a couple of nips from the furry rodents on the set of his popular Groundhog Day that put the annual shadow or no shadow ritual on a loop in 1993. Of course, the groundhogs most glaring offense is that its legendary weather predictions are complete bunk, said Linda Lombardi, a former zookeeper who has a blog and a book called Animals Behaving Badly. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration analyzed the forecasts of groundhog prognosticators from 1988 to 2010 and concluded there was no correlation between predictions and the length of winter weather in a given year. Bad forecasting aside, history has a few ugly moments involving groundhog misbehavior on the big day, when designated groundhogs and some notable surrogates are supposed to step into the sun each Feb. 2 and predict six more weeks of winter, or not. Legend has it that if the groundhog sees his shadow, winter will last for six more weeks. As always, the biggest Groundhog Day ruckus (Thursday will be the 126th) centers on prima donna Punxsutawney Phil, the seer of seers, sage of sages, prognosticator of prognosticators in Pennsylvania. But not even Phil has kept his pointy nose clean of misdeeds. Phil is not a pet. Phil is truly not as warm and cuddly as perhaps you would want him to be. Phil is, in fact, a wild animal, said Mike Johnston, vice president of Phils Inner Circle in Punxsutawney, where Groundhog Day began. He will make his feelings known with a nip, maybe a couple of nips. If his handler continues to do things that displease him hes likely to nail you, Johnston said. Bites and escapes: When groundhogs misbehave Treasure hunter says he found $3B WWII wreck Associated PressPORTLAND, Maine A treasure hunter said Wednesday he has located the wreck of a British merchant ship that was torpedoed by a German U-boat off Cape Cod during World War II while carrying what he claims was a load of platinum bars now worth more than $3 billion. If the claim proves true, it could be one of the richest sunken treasures ever discovered. But an attorney for the British government expressed doubt the vessel was carrying platinum. And if it was, in fact, laden with precious metals, who owns the hoard could become a matter of international dispute. Treasure hunter Greg Brooks of Sub Sea Research in Gorham, Maine, announced that a wreck found sitting in 700 feet of water 50 miles offshore is that of the S.S. Port Nicholson, sunk in 1942. He said he and his crew identified it via the hull number using an underwater camera, and he hopes to begin raising the treasure later this month or in early March with the help of a remotely operated underwater vessel. Im going to get it, one way or another, even if I have to lift the ship out of the water, Brooks said. Associated Press Greg Brooks is seen Wednesday aboard the salvage ship Sea Hunter in Boston Harbor with a picture of the British merchant ship Port Nicholson.

S PORTS Section B THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2012 C ITRUS C OUNTY C HRONICLE Head of the class: UF, FSU bring in bumper crop Florida signs 23 players to letters of intent Associated PressGAINESVILLE Florida coach Will Muschamp believes the best way to challenge for the Southeastern Conference title is to be stout on both lines of scrimmage. Its been his main goal since he arrived on campus. He moved closer to making it happen Wednesday. Muschamps second recruiting class included eight defensive linemen and the top-rated offensive tackle in the country. The 23-player class was ranked fourth by ESPN and could improve if receiver Stefon Diggs ends up in Gainesville. The 6-foot-1 wideout from Olney., Md., will announce his decision Feb. 10. Muschamp wanted to sign more, but he lost out on five players on national signing day. Linebacker Josh Harvey-Clemons committed to Georgia, receiver Nelson Agholor picked Florida State, cornerback Tracy Howard selected Miami, defensive end Leonard Williams chose Southern Cal and offensive lineman Avery Young preferred Auburn. The Gators did get two late additions, with defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. switching from Florida State and receiver Raphael Andrades signing with Florida. Fowler was part of a standout group of defensive linemen. If you watched in our league this year, the two dominant teams were very good on both lines of scrimmage, Muschamp said. Although the Gators ranked eighth in the nation in total defense in 2011, their line got pushed around in losses to Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Georgia and South Carolina. Even lower-division Furman ran for 233 yards against Florida. So several defensive linemen in Floridas signing class should be able to help right away. The eight include: Jonathan Bullard from Shelby, N.C., Bryan Cox Jr. from Fort Lauderdale, Fowler from St. Petersburg, Damien Jacobs from East Mississippi Community College, Alex McCalister from Clemmons, N.C., Dante Phillips from Venice, Jafar Mann from Stone Mountain, Ga., and Quinteze Williams from Tyrone, Ga. Cox is the son of former NFL player Bryan Cox. We saw very easily in our season this year we struggled on both lines of scrimmage, consistently being able to run the ball and stop the run, Muschamp said. Noles load up with top DL prospectsTALLAHASSEE Florida State literally went heavy for defensive players Wednesday in another highly ranked recruiting class pulled in by coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff. The Seminoles landed two of the nations top-ranked defensive linemen in 290-pound defensive end Mario Edwards, Jr., from Denton, Texas, and 310-pound defensive tackle Eddie Goldman from Washington, D.C. Both gave their version of the Tomahawk Chop when announcing their school choice on national television. The hard thing to find is big, athletic people, Fisher said. The bigger and the more athletic they are the better off you are as a football team. Edwards, who played for Ryan High School in Denton, Texas, hopes to wear the uniform No. 15 worn at Florida State in the 1990s by his father. The 6-4 Edwards was named national defensive player of the year by USA Today. Edwards and recruit Chris Casher from Mobile, Ala., will join a veteran group of defensive ends at Florida State led by Brandon Jenkins, Cornelius Tank Carradine and Bjoern Werner that has helped Florida State rank among the national leaders is sacks over the past two seasons. Warriors run Pirates ragged in 79-58 win Unselfish play leads SR to big county victory S EAN A RNOLD Correspondent CRYSTAL RIVER It may have been the Pirates senior night, but after the midway point of the first period, the night belonged to the Seven Rivers Christian boys basketball team Wednesday night. The schools combined for seven points over the first four minutes of play before the Warriors embarked on a 16-0 run to capture a 20-3 advantage with a minute left in the opening quarter. Seven Rivers stayed ahead by at least 18 for the remainder, punctuating its 18-win regular season with a 79-58 victory over Crystal River. Senior point guard Sam Jones led a strong collection of performances from the Warriors (184 overall) with a game-high 26 points, eight assists, seven steals and nine rebounds. Seven Rivers coach Jim Ervin spoke proudly of his teams chemistry after the game, but felt his group fell short of a complete effort. Our team is just so unselfish, Ervin said. We always make the extra pass, and the kids believe in each other and dont worry about I. But we had a little letdown in the second half, where we got away from our fundamentals a little bit, he added. We played about 24 strong minutes, instead of 32, and succumbed to a mental letdown, where we werent focused on our total goal. The teams exchanged three blocked shots apiece in the opening minutes, but the Warriors, who extended their winning streak to five games, soon found easier baskets as they gained traction with strong drives and Seven Rivers 79 Crystal River 58 Atkinson homers in loss MATTHEW BECK /Chronicle Citrus senior Lauryn Rashley struggles to bench press 155 pounds Wednesday afternoon during the Citrus County girls weightlifti ng championship at Citrus High School. Rashley, who competes at 110 pounds, won her class by totalling 255 pounds as the Canes won eight indiv idual titles. Citrus girls weightlifting team romps to fourth straight county championship M ICHAEL M AKSYMICZ CorrespondentINVERNESS On Wednesday afternoon, the three county public schools faced off for the title of Citrus County girls weightlifting team champion. Citrus came out on top with a total score of 57 to Lecantos score of 36 and Crystal Rivers 14 points. With the added excitement of the county championship present, the competitors gave it their all. The Hurricanes Savannah Bingham just did accomplish that by taking first with a clean and jerk of 150 lbs. in the 129 pound weight class for a total of 295 lbs. Bingham was one of eight Citrus girls to be crowned individual county champion. This win tonight makes four county championships in a row for our girls, Citrus head coach Tia Nelson said. We had eight county champs first out of ten weight classes today. With the loss of several seniors from our squad at the end of this school year, we do have quite a few freshman and sophomores coming up which will help ease the loss, Nelson continued. However we will have five girls going to state finals this year. Hannah Evans, a Citrus sophomore, totaled 305 pounds in the 154 pound weight class to win. Tonight my total lift was 305, which is my best to date, Evans said. I wanted to make this my best total because I have state finals coming up. I attribute much of my success to Coach Chop (Wyndell Alexander) who is a good motivator and is a fantastic person, almost like a Dad to me. I wanted to make everyone proud of me including my parents, as they all show concern for me. My whole team is very close to each other, Evans added. Lecanto coach Bob LeCours was pleased with his teams effort. I have been coaching girls weightlifting for eight years now and it was great to see a youth movement where our team was broad across the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes. We have very good senior leadership, LeCours said. Our sophomore lifters are very competitive and this will hold very well for us in the future. Melanesia Thomas, who qualified for the state meet at 183 pounds, also won a county championship by hoisting 295 pounds total for Lecanto. Tonight a lot of my confidence was within my mind as I do work very hard on improving different muscles in my body, working every day at practice and I do run and walk a lot when I am at home, Thomas said. Our whole team supports each other as well as our coach and we are a close-knit family, Thomas added. Swade Kelleher was another Lady Cane who easily took first in the 199 pound weight class with a total lift of 290 lbs. Lecanto drops preseason game to The Villages L ARRYB UGG CorrespondentINVERNESS Amber Atkinson did a little heavy lifting before the softball game. The Lecanto High catcher competed in the Citrus County girls weightlifting championship before she played in the Citrus Preseason Softball Classic at Vicki Overman Field at Citrus High School. Maybe that bit of extra muscle movement helped. Atkinson took a pitch from The Villages hurler Logan Hames and blasted it over the left centerfield fence in the sixth inning. Atkinsons blast was the lone Lecanto highlight as the Buffalo beat the Panthers 8-2 Wednesday night in the exhibition game. Atkinson enjoyed her homer. Citrus falls to South Sumter J AMES B LEVINS CorrespondentINVERNESS The Citrus Hurricanes hosted the South Sumter Red Raiders for the first game of the preseason at Wednesday evenings Citrus Classic softball matchup. The game would give the Lady Canes their first taste of competitive play and a chance to see where everyone was at in a multitude of different positions before heading into the regular season. While it was a good opportunity to experiment, Citrus took an 11-0 loss during a contest shortened by the mercy rule.

Briefly, for red drum, three management areas have been established, representing the northwest (thats us), northeast and southern sections of the state. Changes include an increase in the daily bag limit of two reds instead of the previous limit of one per angler per day here, a statewide vessel limit of eight red drum, and a limit of six red drum transported in a vehicle on land per person. Spotted sea trout changes include four management zones instead of three (we remain in the northwest region), and the elimination of closed seasons statewide. The bag limit changes from five to six in the northeast region; bag limits on the Nature Coast remain as they were. For more information and maps showing the new regions, go to www.myfwc. com, select Saltwater Fishing, then Recreational Regulations. I have firsthand experience with a fish and game agency in only one other state, so I cant say Floridas Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is the best in the nation when it comes to being helpful to those who take their recreation in the outdoors, but I will say it would be hard to imagine one better. As evidence, the FWC has just this week added a new feature to its website that anybody who fishes outside of their home area will find very helpful. The feature is a searchable database of boat ramps in Florida, and you can search for fresh or salt water ramps by county, by special features, by location (such as the name of a lake) and so on. I searched Citrus County and found at least a halfdozen ramps Id never heard of. Find one that interests you, select it, and up comes a map with the ramp marked. In some cases, there are even photos of the ramp, and the one I looked at had six or seven views, showing what the ramp and the access road look like from several angles. Youll need to download a Windows program in order to view the photos, but theres a link to the program right on the ramps page. Its easy to install (Translation: even I was able to do it on the first attempt), and the whole process takes only a few minutes. There are more than 1,600 boat ramps accessible, with pertinent details such as cost, hours available and so on. To access the database, go to MyFWC.com/Boating (dont forget the word boating), and look for the ramp location link on the menu on the left side of the page. In order to help keep the database accurate and current, boaters are asked to send an email to boatRamps@ MyFWC.com with any errors or additional information. If you ever fish outside Citrus County, this feature will be very helpful to you. The trout bite has been good, with most fish being taken in creeks and rivers during low tide; as the tide fills, the fish are moving into the shallow areas nearer to the Gulf. Deadly Combos, jerk baits, MirrOlure Lil Johns and MirrOdines have been producing well. Redfish, on the other hand, have been concentrated mostly in the backcountry. Eppinger Rex gold spoons, D.O.A shrimp, the Lil Johns and of course live shrimp have been the most productive. Sheepshead are still plentiful, but most of the larger fish are coming out of deeper water, 15 feet or more. Tight Lines to you. Chronicle outdoors columnist RG Schmidt can be reached at rgschmidt@ embarqmail.com. DUNNELLON H ooking that first fish is a thrill of a lifetime for most, especially when that someone is a child. And for 19 young fishermen last Saturday, taking part in a bass tournament was something that will never be forgotten, no matter how many more fish they do or do not catch. Its teaching kids about the outdoors, getting them involved, and keeping them away from the other dangers out there, said Marion County Junior Bassmasters Tournament Director Daniel Tillis, while preparing to start the weigh-in for the tournament at the city ramp in Dunnellon. A lot of these kids dont understand whats right in their backyard. We get them involved in this and hopefully it will become a lifetime thing for them, she said. The Marion County Bassmasters have conducted these tournaments for younger anglers for two years now and hope to spread their love of the outdoors and bass fishing on to the next generation. All of our guys put the word out and weve had a good turnout once again, said Russell Tillis, father of the tournament director. We have three categories: 6to 10-year-olds; 11 to 14, and 15 to 17. The kids can qualify for the state championship on Okeechobee later in the year. Nine adult bass fishermen from Marion and Citrus Counties took the kids out on the Withlacoochee River and Lake Rousseau, where they fished artificial lures, learned about tournament rules, and how to fish in a club tournament. And if the smiles and laughter going on at the final weigh-in were any indicator, the kids had a great time. I caught fish with a topwater (lure) and a Texas-rigged worm, said Chase Varga, who hails from Citra and was fishing with his dad, Brian. I started fishing when I was probably 3 or 4 years old. Every time I get to go, Im ready. Varga won the 11to 14-year-old division with a five-fish bag weighing 8.62 pounds. Last year he came in second place on Lake Kerr, so this years win was extra-special. He loves going and I take him whenever I can, said Brian. I am proud of him. Austin Thompson had 3.28 pounds of bass, good for third, and Cory Norton caught one bass weighing 2.72 pounds, which was good for third place and for big bass honors. Ryan Crosby topped the 15to 17-year-old division, weighing in three bass that tipped the scales at 5.68 pounds. Lauren Warren and Jacob Reynolds came in second and third respectively. No legal fish were weighed in by the youngest anglers, but several fish tales were told about the one that got away or bass that came up just short of the 12-inch legal mark on the Golden Rule. Its a good time, and we caught fish throughout the day, had our ups and downs, the elder Varga said. Just like a regular bass tournament.

He was 90. The genial Dundee was best known for being in Alis corner for almost his entire career, but those in boxing also knew him as an ambassador for boxing and a figure of integrity in a sport that often lacked it. He died with his family surrounding him, said son, Jimmy Dundee, but not before being able to attend Alis 70th birthday bash in Louisville, Ky., last month. It was the way he wanted to go, Jimmy Dundee said. He did everything he wanted to do. Promoter Bob Arum said he had been planning to bring Dundee to Las Vegas for a Feb. 18 charity gala headlined by Ali. He called Dundee a legend in the sport, someone who worked the corner for some of the greatest fights of the times. He was wonderful, he was the whole package, Arum said. Angelo was the greatest motivator of all time. No matter how bad things were, Angelo always put a positive spin on them. Thats what Ali loved so much about him. Arum credited Dundee with persuading Ali to continue in his third fight against Joe Frazier when Frazier was coming on strong in the Thrilla in Manilla. Without Dundee, Arum said, Ali may not have had the strength to come back and stop Frazier after the 14th round in what became an iconic fight. Dundee also worked the corner for Leonard, famously shouting Youre blowing it son. Youre blowing it when Leonard fell behind in his 1981 fight with Tommy Hearns a fight he would rally to win by knockout. A master motivator and clever corner man, Dundee was regarded as one of the sports great ambassadors. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1994 after a career that spanned six decades, training 15 world champions, including Leonard, George Foreman, Carmen Basilio and Jose Napoles. But he will always be linked to Ali as one of the most successful fighter-trainer relationships in boxing history, helping Ali become the first to win the heavyweight title three times. The pair would travel around the world for fights to such obscure places as Alis October 1974 bout in Zaire against Foreman dubbed The Rumble in the Jungle, and Alis third fight against Frazier in the Philippines. I just put the reflexes in the proper direction, Dundee said in a 2005 interview with The Associated Press. Their partnership began in Louisville, Alis hometown, in 1959. Dundee was there with light heavyweight Willie Pastrano when the young Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, called their room from a hotel phone to ask if he could have five minutes. Clay, a local Golden Gloves champion, kept asking the men boxing questions in a conversation that lasted 3 hours, according to Dundees autobiography, My View From the Corner: A Life in Boxing. After Ali returned from Rome with a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics, Dundee ran into him in Louisville and invited him to come to Miami Beach to train. Ali declined. But that December, Dundee got a call from one of Alis handlers, seeking to hire Dundee. After Ali won his first pro fight, Dundee accepted. He helped Ali claim the heavyweight title for the first time on Feb. 25, 1964, when Sonny Liston quit on his stool after the sixth round during their fight in Miami Beach. In an age of boxing when fightermanager relationships rarely last, Dundee and Ali would never split. When Cassius Clay angered white America by joining the Black Muslims and become Muhammad Ali, Dundee never wavered. When Ali defied the draft at the height of the Vietnam war, losing 3 1/2 years from the prime of his career, Dundee was there waiting for the heavyweights return. And when Ali would make bold projections, spewing poetry that made headlines across the world and gave him the nickname The Louisville Lip, Dundee never asked him to keep quiet. Through all those days of controversy, and the many that followed, Angelo never got involved, Ali wrote in the foreword to Dundees book. He let me be exactly who I wanted to be, and he was loyal. That is the reason I love Angelo. Born Angelo Mirena on Aug. 30, 1921, in south Philadelphia, Dundees boxing career was propelled largely by his older brother, Chris, a promoter. After returning from World War II We won, but not because of anything I did he joined Chris in the boxing game in New York, serving as his go-fer and getting the tag Chris kid brother. Angelo and Chris followed another brother Joe, who was a fighter, in changing their surname to Dundee so their parents wouldnt know they worked in boxing. He learned to tape hands and handle cuts as a corner man in the late 1940s, building his knowledge by watching and learning as a bucket boy in New York for trainers like Chickie Ferrara, Charlie Goldman and Ray Arcel among others. Word of Dundees expertise spread, and seasoned fighters lined up to have him in their corner. He worked major boxing scenes with Chris, with stops at the famed Stillmans Gym in New York and Miami Beachs 5th Street Gym. Dundees fun-loving attitude combined with his powerful Philly accent made him a joy to be around. His lifelong love and respect for the sport earned him praise from those across the boxing world. He is the only man in boxing to whom I would entrust my own son, the late sportscaster Howard Cosell once said of Dundee. Associated Press In this 1966 photo, Muhammad Ali looks on as his hands are taped by trainer Angelo Dundee before sparing with Jimmy Ellis during a training session at the Territorial Army Centre in London, England. Dundee, the trainer who helped groom Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard into world champions and became one of boxings most recognizable figures, died Wednesday at age 90.

Orlando won 109-103 to snap a five-game losing streak. Skid snapped Creighton rolls in lopsided win FSU soundly defeats GT Associated PressOMAHA, Neb. Doug McDermott scored 17 of his 25 points in the first half to lead six Creighton players in double figures and the 13thranked Bluejays rode a fast start to a 102-74 victory over Illinois State on Wednesday night. The Bluejays (21-2, 11-1 Missouri Valley Conference) won their 11th straight overall and fourth in a row against the Redbirds (14-9, 66). Creighton broke out to a 17-2 lead making eight straight shots and 10 of its first 11, and McDermott was in double figures inside 8 minutes. No. 14 Georgetown 58, Connecticut 44 WASHINGTON Hollis Thompson regained his shooting touch with 18 points, and Georgetown held Connecticut to season lows in scoring and shooting in its fourth straight loss. Thompson went 7 for 15 from the field and grabbed nine rebounds. The Big Easts top 3point shooter went 3 for 7 behind the arc, matching the number of 3s from his last three games combined. The Hoyas (17-4, 7-3), bouncing back from a subpar effort in a loss at Pittsburgh, led by 10 points at halftime and didnt allow the Huskies to get closer than six the rest of the way.No. 23 Michigan 68, No. 20 Indiana 56 ANN ARBOR, Mich. Trey Burke scored 18 points, and Michigan raced to a 20-point first-half lead. The Wolverines (17-6, 7-3 Big Ten) remained unbeaten at home. They got off to a quick start after last weekends loss at No. 3 Ohio State, scoring the first 13 points and taking a 28-8 lead. Indiana (17-6, 5-6) twice fought back within two points in the second half, including at 5250 with 3:20 remaining. Tim Hardaway Jr. hit a big 3-pointer for Michigan, and after Indianas Derek Elston missed the front end of a 1-and-1, Stu Douglass made a 3-pointer to put the Wolverines up by eight. Jordan Hulls scored 18 points for Indiana, which has lost five of its last seven. Michigan had only one turnover in the first half, while Indiana had eight. There were eight fouls called in the first half and 25 in the second. No. 21 Florida St. 68, Georgia Tech 54TALLAHASSEE Michael Snaer scored 21 points and Bernard James added 13 as Florida State won its sixth straight. The victory gives Florida State (15-6, 6-1) its best start in league play since joining the ACC for the 1991-92 season and it keeps the Seminoles tied with North Carolina for first place. Duke is right behind at 51. Snaer scored 16 points in the second half to help awaken a slumbering offense that managed to shoot just 34.8 percent in the first half. The 6-foot-4 junior made 5 of 7 from 3-point distance and has made 11 of his last 13 tries from beyond the arc, including a buzzer-beating game-winner at Duke on Jan. 21. Georgia Tech (8-14, 1-7) led 25-24 at halftime despite not having scoring and rebounding leader Glen Rice Jr., who missed the game with a foot injury. Brandon Reed, who was 4 of 8 from 3-point distance, scored a season-high 18 points and Daniel Miller added 10 for the Yellow Jackets, who lost their sixth straight. No. 8 Kansas 84, Oklahoma 62 LAWRENCE, Kan. Thomas Robinson had 20 points and 17 rebounds in another performance sure to burnish his player of the year credentials, leading No. 8 Kansas to an 84-62 blowout of Oklahoma. The junior forward had four assists and a couple of blocks for the Jayhawks (18-4, 8-1 Big 12), who responded to their first conference loss last Saturday at Iowa State by outscoring the Sooners 50-31 over the course of the second half. Tyshawn Taylor had 21 points, Jeff Withey added 15 and Travis Releford had 12 as Kansas tuned up for a high-profile showdown at No. 4 Missouri on Saturday.

All of my teammates support each other and our coach is always there for us. These are some of the reasons that I will be going to the state finals this year for the first time. Although low in numbers, the Crystal River squad gave a good effort, according to head coach Randy Owens. We have a young and limited squad this year so I am proud of what the girls accomplished tonight, Owens said. We are now faced with a recruiting job for next season to build our squad to a respectable level. Unfortunately we will not be sending any of our girls to the state finals, Owens said.

(Hames is) a pretty decent pitcher, Atkinson said. Lecanto starting pitcher Danyelle Yant took the pitching loss, giving up three runs in the second inning and six hits in three innings against the Villages. Lily Parrish pitched the last three runs and allowed five runs on six hits. She had three strikeouts. The only other Panther run came when Jordan Martin walked in the third and scored on Andrea Coutus single. Lecanto head coach Robert Dupler wasnt concerned about what he saw. Its a practice game, Dupler said. We got everyone into the game. We got to see a lot of our players. We have four soccer players who just finished their season. We are missing three basketball players. We like our preseason games, Dupler continued. The Villages has a good ball club. Their pitching was good. We came in with a certain game plan as far as playing people in different positions. Citrus head coach Larry Bishop said. Were excited about the season. Not the ideal start to what we wanted. But it was a practice game and if youre going to make the mistakes, lets make them now. The Raiders would get their chance at bat and string together a series of hits to take a 9-0 lead by the innings conclusion. South Sumter nailed a double to center field off the very first Citrus pitch and followed with four singles, two doubles and a triple to take an early and daunting advantage. The Lady Canes would muster up some offense in the second inning with singles by by Kelly Ellis and catcher Melissa Michaud but Citrus stranded the runners. (South Sumter has) strong pitching. Their catcher throws real well. I didnt really see a weak spot on their team. Bishop said. They should have a pretty good season. It was good to start off against a team like that so the girls can see that there is some pretty good competition that theyll come across. The bottom of the third inning would be the best defensive effort the Lady Canes would showcase in the game. Catching an early pop fly and turning two singles into outs, shutting down the Raider batting machine for the first time. Unfortunately the Hurricanes could not convert that momentum into any runs. 3B Jessica Liptrap would hit a single with two outs but the following hit would be thrown out at first thus ending another Citrus threat. South Sumter easily lead the game with 15 hits to Citrus three. We got out of (the game) what we had wanted. Bishop said. Of course we wanted to play better. We didnt play real good defensive, we didnt hit the ball well but I thought overall our pitching was pretty good. (South Sumter) is a good hitting team and they took advantage of it. Citrus will play The Villages at home for the second game of the preseason classic 7 p.m. Friday. CITRUS Continued from Page B1 COUNTY Continued from Page B1 LECANTO Continued from Page B1 Hurricanes drop home contest to Red Raiders Pryor scores 17 points in 56-44 loss for Citrus ChronicleDespite leading for nearly the entire game, the Citrus boys basketball team fell behind in the fourth quarter to visiting South Sumter and couldnt catch back in a 5644 loss to the Red Raiders in Inverness. Sophomore point guard Devin Pryor led the Hurricanes (12-10 overall) with 17 points but no other Citrus player reached double figures. With senior forward and leading scorer Ryan Labrador currently out with an ankle injury, the Hurricanes are struggling to find the offensive diversity they need. What we need is for someone else to step up so we can balance out the scoring a little bit, Citrus coach Tom Densmore said. We had Devin at 20 (points) at Crystal River (on Monday) and no one else in double figures, then the same thing (Wednesday). The Hurricanes led 9-3 after a quarter of play and 28-21 at halftime. While South Sumter began closing the gap, Citrus still held a 35-31 advantage heading into the fourth period. South Sumter finally took its first lead at 43-42 about midway through the final frame. Defensively, we kept ourselves in the game, Densmore said. Citrus plays at Hernando on Thursday before playing on Feb. 8 in the District 6A6 tournament semifinals as the No. 3 seed against No. 2 seed and tournament host Lecanto. effective ball movement. Offensively, Seven Rivers was running on full speed right off the bat, Crystal River coach Steve Feldman said. They jumped on us right away in the first quarter, and we really never recovered from that. We were a step slow all night. They gave us a good oldfashioned whipping. They looked like they were ready for districts. If theyre not the favorites in their district, I dont know who is. Warriors sophomore guard Adam Gage had 19 points, four blocks, six rebounds and a pair of steals while senior forward Lucas Ebert added 17 points and 11 rebounds for Seven Rivers. The Warriors shot 46 percent from the field as a team. Pirates sophomore point guard Ty Reynolds led his team with 16 points, with nine coming in the final quarter. Fellow Crystal River sophomore guard Kaileb McColley had 15 points. We had no continuity on offense, and they made a conscious effort from the get-go to take Reynolds out of it early and often, Feldman said. Warriors senior forward Trey Gaskin had a ninepoint second period on his way to totaling 13 points. Freshman forward Sam Franklin (seven points) and senior forward Will Cleveland each collected nine rebounds for the Pirates (714 overall), and Franklin also blocked three shots. Crystal River finishes out its regular season Thursday at Brooksville Central, where it will get an opportunity to play spoiler for the Bears senior night.

Ryan Callahan scored the decisive goal in the shootout and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 34 shots to lead the New York Rangers to a 1-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. Callahan scored in the fifth round of the shootout by driving in on Ryan Miller, leaning to his right and snapping a shot into the open left side. Marian Gaborik had scored in the first round of the shootout and the Sabres Jason Pominville answered in the third round, beating Lundqvist on the stick side. Both goalies earned a shutout, with Miller stopping 29 shots through overtime. It was Lundqvists sixth shutout of the season, his third in his last five starts and 41st of his career putting him alone in second place on the teams all-time list, one ahead of Dave Kerr.Maple Leafs 1, Penguins 0 TORONTO James Reimer stopped all 25 shots he faced and Clarke MacArthur scored in the third period to lift Toronto over Pittsburgh. The win gave the Maple Leafs a split of a home-andhome set with Pittsburgh one night after the Penguins erased a 4-1 deficit in the third period before pulling out a 5-4 shootout win. It looked as if overtime would again be necessary Wednesday until MacArthur took a pass from Mikhail Grabovski and deked around Brent Johnson with 6:05 to go in regulation. Reimer, who was starting for only the second time in 14 games, registered his first shutout since opening night against Montreal in October.Panthers 4, Capitals 2 SUNRISE Mikael Samuelsson had two goals to help Florida beat Washington and move into first place in the Southeast Division.

Rapper upset at Mitt Romney NEW YORK Rapper KNaan is upset that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney used his song Wavin Flag during his Florida primary victory speech. In a statement Wednesday, Knaan said Romneys campaign didnt seek approval to use the song, and he would not have granted permission if it had. The Somali-born, Canadian-based rapper said he would happily grant President Barack Obamas campaign the use of the song. KNaan said he wants to make sure Romney does not use his song again and is seeking legal action. Romney spokesman Rick Gorka said the song was used through the campaigns regular blanket license but, out of respect for KNaans statement, wont be used again. Wavin Flag was an international hit for KNaan in 2010, co-written and coproduced by Bruno Mars production team, The Smeezingtons. Filmmaker arrested at hearing WASHINGTON An Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker was arrested at a House hearing Wednesday after trying to film the proceedings without the required media credentials. Joshua Fox of Milanville, Pa., was led out of the room in handcuffs and charged by Capitol Police with unlawful entry. Fox directed the antidrilling documentary Gasland, which was nominated last year for an Oscar. Fox is also an activist who has spoken out against hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the subject of the House Science, Space and Technology subcommittee hearing. Fracking takes place when large volumes of water, sand and chemicals are injected into wells to break up underground rock formations, allowing natural gas to escape. The oil and gas industry has criticized Fox and his film for what they say is a sensationalized attack on fracking. Democrats forced two votes, one to allow Fox to film the hearing and a second to recess the hearing for a week so that Fox could obtain credentials. Both motions were defeated on a party-line vote. Committee Republicans issued a statement saying that committee rules state, Personnel providing coverage by the television and radio media shall be currently accredited to the Radio and Television Correspondents Galleries. The individual removed was not accredited by the House Radio and TV Gallery and had refused to turn off his camera upon request by Capitol Police. Associated PressLOS ANGELES Soul Train host Don Cornelius was the arbiter of cool, a brilliant TV showman who used his purring, baritone voice to seduce mainstream America into embracing black music and artists. But the love, peace and SOUL! he wished viewers as he closed each show for decades escaped him as his life descended into marital trouble, illness and, finally, a fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound Wednesday. Police said they went to his Mulholland Drive home around 4 a.m. after receiving a call from one of his sons, who became concerned after being contacted by his father. Cornelius, 75, was found shot and was pronounced dead an hour later at a nearby hospital. Authorities ruled out foul play, but have not found a suicide note and are talking to relatives about his mental state. To music-hungry viewers, he was a smooth, sharp-dressed man who got them dancing to the hottest tracks going. The pop worlds biggest stars recalled him as much more: A cultural groundbreaker who advanced African-American music and culture; a black entrepreneur who overcame racism by strength of will; a visionary who understood raps emergence but criticized its rawness. Aretha Franklin, an early Soul Train performer, called him an American treasure. God bless him for the solid, good and wholesome foundation he provided for young adults worldwide, she said, and the unity and brotherhood he singlehandedly brought about with his most memorable creation of Soul Train. Donald Cortez Cornelius was born Sept. 27, 1936, in Chicago. After high school, he served as a Marine in Korea. Cornelius was working as an insurance salesman when he spent $400 on a broadcasting course and landed a part-time job in 1966 as announcer, newsman and DJ on WVON radio. Thats where listeners first heard the distinctively measured and rich Cornelius rumble. Cornelius began moonlighting at WCIU-TV when Roy Wood, his mentor at WVON, moved there, and won a job producing and hosting A Blacks View of the News. When the station wanted to expand its ethnic programming, he pitched a black music show, and Soul Train was born. You want to do what youre capable of doing. If I saw (Dick Clarks) American Bandstand and I saw dancing and I knew black kids can dance better; and I saw white artists and I knew black artists make better music; and if I saw a white host and I knew a black host could project a hipper line of speech, and I did know all these things, then it was reasonable to try, he said. Soul Train, which began in 1970, followed some of the Bandstand format with its audience and young dancers. But thats where the comparisons stopped. Cornelius, the suave, ultra-cool emcee, made Soul Train appointment viewing. There was not programming that targeted any particular ethnicity, he said in 2006, then added: Im trying to use euphemisms here, trying to avoid saying there was no television for black folks, which they knew was for them. Debra Lee, who is chairman and chief executive of Black Entertainment Television, was one of those youngsters who tuned in to the show. She said she would finish her chores early so she could check out the latest music, fashions and dance moves. His reach is just amazing, and personally he was such a charming man, she said, calling Cornelius a role model and a great interviewer who knew how to connect to artists and had the best voice in the world. With that voice, he helped bring the best R&B, soul and, later, hip-hop acts to TV. It was one of the first TV shows to showcase African-American artists including Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Barry White. You have to dream, Cornelius said in a 1995 interview. I dreamed everything. I used to introduce Marvin Gaye in my living room. So when the time came that I was going to really introduce guys like Marvin Gaye and Steve Wonder, I had done it before. Soul Train had a whimsical cartoon train and whistle that opened each show. And Cornelius would close each show with his sign-off: Love, peace and SOUL! drawing out the pronunciation of the last word with his deep voice. Cornelius world grew dark in recent years as he faced fallout from a divorce and other pressures. In 2009, he was sentenced to three years probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor spousal battery and, in his divorce case that year, he also mentioned having significant health problems. He has two children, Anthony and Raymond, with his first wife, Delores Harrison.

L ocal wine shops sell wines ranging from $4 to $400. The big question is what level of value (wine quality) do you get for your money? And what do we mean by QPR (Quality to Price Ratio)? As with most retail products, wine is divided into a number of price categories. Generally, we get what we pay for. So if you choose a BMW over a Chevy, the price difference of more than $50,000 is worth it. Or is it? Both cars have four wheels, seats, safety features, etc., but the BMW is several steps up in class, a luxury ride. Now what about wine prices? Is the $50 bottle of wine fives times as good and one costing $10? The rub here is QPR. The issue of wine prices is a tough one to explain to folks who are conditioned to believe somehow the higher the price the better the wine. This is true to a point and that point is known as the law of diminishing returns. A the price goes up and up, at some point you, the consumer, start getting less value for your money. Retail wine prices can vary by more than a thousand fold. The important question is how close does price come to determining quality, and the quick answer is not very. Let me explain. The price of a wine is a function of the price of the grapes, the cost of labor, debt service, taxation, transport, bottling and overhead so as to maximize return on capital. Elementary, is it not? Lets look for a moment at the various price categories and see what we get for our hard earned money.

Now, the brand is available in four signature-chip flavors at Publix grocery stores. When heavy hitters like Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Flay favor Graeters, you know it has to be good. This is a fourthgeneration, family-owned company that pioneered the French Pot process of making only two gallons at a time with all-natural ingredients like heavy cream and pure cane sugar. The end result is a dense, creamy texture and massive chocolate chips. Black raspberry chocolate chip in a pint is Graeters best-selling flavor. The other flavors to be available at Publix are vanilla chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip and double chocolate chip.

Associated PressNEW YORK Paula Deens diabetes revelation pretty much sums it up: Kitchen pros at all levels struggle with obesity and its dangerous aftertaste in the high-pressure, high-calorie world of food. The queen of Southern comfort cooking, now a spokeswoman for a diabetes drugmakers health initiative, announced last week she hid her Type 2 diabetes for three years while continuing to cook up deep-fried cheesecake and bacon-andegg burgers between doughnuts on TV. Choosing to digest her ill health privately all those years, Deens story is familiar to those in chefs jackets who already had gone public with the question few in their world love to talk about: How do you stay healthy while trying to earn a living making food? On Thursday, a dozen obese chefs, restaurant owners, caterers and others will search for the answer. Thats when the Food Network premieres Fat Chef, which follows participants for 16 weeks as they struggle to lose weight and learn a healthier way of life with the help of trainers, nutritionists and therapists. You have this abundance of food all around you, said pastry chef Michael Mignano, whos one of the dozen. Youre doing parties, you have weddings. Theres always a lot of food left over. Youre constantly tasting, working late hours, eating late. Mignano, 36, owns a bakery in Port Washington, N.Y. At 6 foot 2, he weighed about 500 pounds soon after he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2010, before Fat Chef went into production last October. His resolve to do something about his weight grew stronger as the result of a different Food Network show on which he appeared in September, Sweet Genius. I wasnt nervous about that show, but I was nervous about whether the jacket would fit me, said Mignano, who now weighs about 400 pounds and has a long road ahead to reach his goal weight of 250. Watching myself on that show, I was the fat guy. Thats all I saw. I felt almost like a drunk seeing himself on the floor passed out. Going public with his weight loss journey hasnt been easy for Mignano and others in similar unhealthy dire straits. As chefs, the constant food stimulation by sight, smell and taste was compounded by personal struggles and family obligations. Art Smith, who doesnt appear on the show, is a child of fried chicken and other Southern staples like his old pal Deen. Like Deen, he was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about three years ago. Also 6 foot 2, Smith ballooned to 325 pounds while gorging on refined sugar, caffeine, PB&Js anything that gave him an instant energy boost or filled him up at the end of an exhausting day as a chef for Oprah Winfrey. Exercise? He could barely walk a block, until he decided to turn it all around and lost 118 pounds. Now 51, the Jasper, Fla., native, restaurant owner, cookbook author and food TV personality has kept the weight off. Smith has run marathons, eats oatmeal and egg whites for breakfast, drinks plenty of water and has expanded Common Threads, his healthy eating initiative for low-income kids. He declares: Ive got my sexy back! Obviously not all chefs struggle with obesity and serious health threats like diabetes, but most do think about weight and how to hold back the extra pounds. Allison Adato, a senior editor and former food beat writer for People magazine, is out in April with a book, Smart Chefs Stay Slim, offering insights and tips from three dozen of the biggest names in the industry. Paula Deens revelation may mark a turning point for some viewers and diners, Adato said. My hope is this moment creates a broader awareness that the way a person eats does have an impact on his or her health. Fortunately, there are a lot of chefs who have already thought about how to balance a healthy lifestyle with enjoying wonderful food. Surrounded by rich, decadent food and their need to earn a living from it, Adatos chefs stay fit by keeping hyper-aware of every calorie. Some balance out their food excesses over a few days, indulging one day, but eating clean the next. They know the difference between tasting the food they prepare without gorging on it, and exactly how much dessert to enjoy. As a pastry chef, Mignano said his problem wasnt so much the chocolate he was surrounded by. It was the junk food hed slam down before and after work. Ally Vitella, 41, a New York City caterer, discovered she had Type 2 diabetes at the first health check-in for Fat Chef. At 59, she weighed 345 pounds and was forced to sit guiltily by as her husband and mother-in-law lugged catering ovens and other equipment up and down the stairs of their Manhattan clients. After a job, Youre kind of a scavenger. I was eating hors doeuvres for lunch and dinner. I would scoop up half a tray of food and eat it. We were ordering pizza and Chinese food at home because we were exhausted all the time, she said. We cook things youre supposed to eat once in a while, but I was eating them every day. Vitella, who lives in North Caldwell, N.J., dropped from a size 28 to a size 16 during the show, losing nearly 60 pounds. Her goal weight is 190, but the important thing, she said, is she can play again with her 7year-old son and 9-year-old daughter. Ive learn that tasting means tasting, not tasting the same dish five times, Vitella said. Escalation of Type 2 disease in the U.S. has been closely tied to obesity. Roughly 23 million Americans are believed to have the most common Type 2 diabetes; patients bodies either do not produce enough insulin or do not use it efficiently, allowing excess sugar, or glucose, to accumulate in the blood. 1. Three liter and 1.5 liter. Jug wines are mostly decent-tasting but not lush with quality. 2. The so-called fighting varietals, from about $8 to $12 are better with marked flavors, but usually short on the finish. 3. Handcrafted wines, about $12 to $20 from individual producers, are not uniform year after year because they vary from one vintage to another and begin to demonstrate individual vineyard styles. The $20 to $30 grouping at last begins to showcase the best grapes from premium vineyards. The soils pass on bright elements of flavor to the grapes and then to the wine. Microclimates, the right amounts of sun and moisture and cooling breezes lead to grapes of unusual quality translating into great wines. Yields are small, allowing individual vines to reach a new potential. We are not talking about the big trophy wines of the world, most of which are beyond the reach of everyday consumers, buoyed up by scarcity and demand among the well-to-do. Many years ago, a friend and I invested our cash supply in a $30 bottle (20 times that of current value) of French Bordeaux from the sub-district of Margaux, called Chateau Palmer, vintage 1947. The flavors of this wine are etched in my memory, a sweeping elegance and refinement, rushes of aromas, and for two college sophomores on Christmas break, a lasting impression of hedonistic pleasure. Years later with many bottles of good wine behind me, I still recall the pleasure of that lovely Palmer wine. Today the prices in the global wine world have gone completely off the charts. Billionaires worldwide are bidding up French estate wines into the stratosphere. This frenzy aside, the issue for gentle readers is how to get maximum value for a fair price. Here are a few hints to achieving this goal: Think about a small band, a violin, cello, brass, reeds and percussion. Now expand these instruments to a full orchestra, yielding a much fuller, more grandiose sound. This is why big orchestras exist, to create a multi-dimension of sound. To uncover a complex medley of wine, decide on your favorite style, be it white or red and be prepared to pay a tad more than normal. Consult with an advisor, explaining in your own words what you are seeking. Dont tell him or her, I just want it to taste good. Instead say, find me a full orchestra, not just a four-piece garage band; Im looking for a composite medley of my favorite grapes. What can you suggest? Any consultant worth his or her salt will look at you with new eyes. Maybe they will even turn you on to a Chateau Palmer look-alike if you are lucky.

L ast Monday, it was rainy and warm, and now this week we have snow and cold again. Kevin, 6, is home from school today. He has been running a fever since yesterday morning. It is not a high fever, but just enough to make him feel miserable at times. He also has a cough and stuffy nose, but otherwise no other big symptoms. Everybody else is the family seems OK so far. Daughters Verena and Loretta stayed home from church services Sunday to take care of Kevin. On our way home from church, it was snowing so hard we could barely see where we were going. The snow stuck to the buggy windshield, so every once in a while wed have to stop and open the window to reach out and brush off the snow. This still beats driving in an open buggy, though, like we used in Indiana before we moved here to Michigan. Some people have windshield wipers on their buggies, but the wipers have to be flipped back and forth by hand by turning a knob on the inside. As fast as this snow was coming down, it would have been hard to keep up. The horses have a special shoe that gives them a good grip on snow and ice, but the buggy slides back and forth on ice, especially going around corners. We brought Jacob and Emmas 4-year-old son, Steven, home with us from church. We told Jacob and Emma to come for supper later on. Steven sure felt proud for all of the attention from us. He was like medicine for Kevin, who was looking out in the window when we came home. When he saw we brought Steven with us, he started jumping up and down with excitement. Daughters Verena, 14, and Lovina, 7, played Aggravation with Steven and Kevin. It was so cute to see Steven act so grown-up while playing. Jacob and Emma arrived around 5 p.m. to pick him up and have supper. Joe grilled 20 pounds of chicken, which was more than enough. It was put to use in todays lunches for whoever wanted chicken. Joe said he will take the leftover macaroni and cheese, but he does not want chicken. He would much rather have macaroni and cheese or soup or something like it than meat in his lunch. On the menu for Sunday supper besides barbecued chicken was mashed potatoes, gravy, macaroni and cheese, corn, bread and butter, onion slices, hot peppers, ice cream and chocolate cake. Emma brought the cake. The roads were really icy. We werent sure whether there would be school today, but there was. Kevin doesnt want to let the fever keep him down. After he had his medicine and his fever went down, he said,Mama I am better. I told him your forehead still feels warm. So he comes back with his hair damp and said now feel my forehead. He was in the bathroom holding a cold washcloth to his forehead. He asked if he could take his temperature by himself and he said, the score is 100. We have a lot of laundry waiting to be washed. Daughter Elizabeth is starting, so I best go help her. Susan is washing the dishes and going to mop the floors while we do laundry and keep an eye out for Kevin who keeps going even with a fever. Kevin told me yesterday when we came home from church, Mom, I think Susan really cares for me, because she told Verena and Loretta to keep an eye out for Kevin while we are at church. Needless to say, he is keeping us entertained even though he is running a fever. I will share the apple dump cake recipe that Verena made at school and now makes for us here at home. APPLE DUMP CAKE 4 cups peeled and sliced apples or 2 pints of canned apples 4 teaspoons cinnamon 3 /4 cup brown sugar 1 box of white cake mix 1 /4 cup butter Grease a 9-by-13-inch cake pan. Mix cinnamon and apples in a bowl and then spread evenly out in a cake pan. Layer the cake mix on top of the apples. Melt butter and drizzle over the cake mix evenly. Then sprinkle the brown sugar on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Cake mix will still appear white.

Adding plenty of whole grains and vegetables not only provides piles of nutrients, it also fills you up and keeps you full for long after the meal has finished. These foods also tend to be lower in calories, which means you can load up without getting weighed down. This one-dish meal is rich in savory flavors thanks to a blend of mushrooms and cheese, as well as plenty of fiber from the farro. The flavors of the stuffing combine with the sweetness of acorn squash and fresh, bright citrus and herbs to create a meal that will feel less like youre leaving something out and more like youre indulging in something hearty. Farro is an ancient variety of wheat common in Italian and Middle Eastern cooking. It usually is sold parcooked to make it quickcooking, so be sure to check your packages instructions to determine the appropriate prep time. FARRO AND MUSHROOM STUFFED ACORN SQUASH 1 large acorn squash (about 1 1/2 pounds) 1/2 cup farro 8 ounces mixed mushrooms, chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 shallots, chopped 2 cups baby spinach 1/2 teaspoon orange zest 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese 4 lemon wedges Heat the oven to 375 F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the acorn squash into quarters. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Trim off a small slice of skin from the curved side of each quarter to allow it to sit flat. Spritz a 9-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and arrange the squash in the pan, skin side down. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until just softened. Meanwhile, make the stuffing. Add the farro to the boiling water and cook until tender but still al dente, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes, or until well browned. Add the garlic, shallots, spinach, orange zest, thyme and oregano, then cook for 3 more minutes. Stir in the drained farro. When the squash is ready, spoon the stuffing into the center of each quarter. Sprinkle the feta cheese over the stuffing and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife. Serve each squash quarter with a wedge of lemon. From start to finish, it takes 50 minutes and serves four.

CHS grads sought for shared reunion Gathering slated for July 13-15 A few years ago, artist Paul George was presenting a demonstration at the monthly meeting of the Citrus Watercolor Club (CWC). George is a masterful watercolorist and, should anyone purchase one his paintings, they fetch a substantial sum. When the demo painting was completed, he generously donated the artwork to the club. As I was president of the CWC at the time, he entrusted the painting to me. I loaded the art piece into the back of my SUV, being careful to lay it flat so that it would not be damaged. Then I proceeded to load some audio equipment further into the back and headed for Homosassa. As I traveled down County Road 581, a vehicle suddenly pulled out in front of me. I slammed on the brakes and heard the awful noise of audio equipment tumbling over in back of me. Upon inspection, I found the Paul George painting had sustained a huge black mark across part of it. Good grief! How could I face Paul George with this disaster? I decided to come clean with him, and the next morning rushed it where he was conducting a workshop. He kind of scowled at me when he saw what I had done, but then commented, Not to fear. With a few brush strokes, he proceeded to mend the painting to the extent that it looked even better after he was finished. Ah what a relief. George saved the painting and the day for me! George will be back as visiting and demonstrating artist at the Feb. 10 meeting of the CWC. A resident of Gloucester, Mass., he has a Bachelor of Science from Northeastern University, Boston. He studied at the MFA School in Boston. He is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society and an active member of the New England Watercolor Society, Cape Cod Art Association and North Shore Art Association. He is a former vice president of the Rockport Art Association, as well as being an associate member of the American Watercolor Society. George has won numerous awards for his paintings, including Winsor & Newton Award for Excellence from the National Watercolor Society and the Gold Medal from the New England Watercolor Society. His work is in collections throughout the United States and Europe, and can be seen at The George Gallery in Gloucester. He has been teaching watercolor workshops in the U.S. and Europe since 1995. He is one of those rare people who is not only a good painter, but a great teacher as well. The Paul George workshop on Feb. 11 and 12 is completely sold out. Design and composition of a painting is always an important factor and in this workshop artists will focus on composition, design and how to simplify, understand and use it to add power and punch to their paintings. George will support each subject with talks, painting demonstrations and with personal oneon-one support and a complete critique each afternoon. It will be an exciting and motivating workshop. This is a great opportunity to work with one of the premier watercolorists in the country. Members of CWC enjoy a Painting of the Month competition, have opportunities to show and sell their work, take workshops and participate in monthly sketch/paint-outs and more. For more information about the meeting or to become a member, call Delois Lang-Dick at 352-746-0811 or Ellen Hines at 352-527-0901, or access the CWC website at www.citruswatercolorclub.com.
